We’re almost to the end of Formal Portrait Sundays. This is the last collection of pictures of Jayton. Since I started Formal Portrait Sunday I’ve really only taken one other set of formal portraits (depending on how you count time) and I will share those on a Formal Portrait Sunday,… Read More »Jayton – Volume 10
I took a lot more pictures at Pufferbilly Days this year. At least I made the effort. This was for two reasons. One is because I’m going to use these images for the photo project I’m going to move onto after the completion of THE TOWN SIGN PROJECT. The second… Read More »Pufferbilly Days Race

Happy Halloween! At the time of my writing this, the CDC has recently announced that Beggars’ Night should be cancelled.

As 2019 comes barreling down upon us like a runaway freight train with a faulty dead man’s switch, I realize I probably have quite a bit of 2018 back log to get through. Back in March I went out to Ledges to watch Willy finish the Ledges leg of the… Read More »Iowa Trail Run – Ledges

Here is the collection of CHILDREN photos that didn’t make the cut for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: Thanks for taking the time to mock this pathetic collection of losers.
Maybe there was a slight dip this week, but that was to be expected, since CHILDREN are so very, very creepy. I mean, we’ve all seen the groundbreaking documentary CHILDREN OF THE CORN. We know what they’re capable of doing. Don’t get me started on the companion documentary VILLAGE OF… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 56 – CHILDREN

I have to admit that I’m kind of phoning this one in. I’m going to copy and paste and email I wrote about the Living History Farms Run on Saturday. You just need to know that there was some confusion about whether or not we would be able to watch… Read More »The Turkey Trot
There was an article about Willy and his running ways in the Boone News Republican on Friday. Because of the weird way that they printed the article, I couldn’t scan the whole thing in one scan. For reasons I can’t quite figure out, the Boone News Republican (maybe they are… Read More »St. Elmo’s Fire
So Willy didn’t actually win 8 events during Pufferbilly Days, but he did finish 2nd with his partner Avril in the Anytime Fitness Amazing Race. He backed this up by winning the Pufferbilly Days 5K for his age group the following morning. Below is a very pixelated video taken by… Read More »The Michael Phelps of Pufferbilly Days
